Django is a great framework and it's probably very silly of me but I still cannot let go of the master/slave fiasco a couple of years ago.

A framework that have deciding collaborators that is that sensitive / politically correct is not something I'm willing to invest my time on any more.

Nice. Anyone building fun stuff using Django these days?

Definitely.

Most of my projects starts with Django. Quick to build quick to test the idea. And because they never grow to 10k concurrent users no need for more scalable solution.

You’re right, it is very silly of you. I might even say you’re the one being over sensitive.

As questionable as that PR may be, it's hardly enough to justify outright dismissing one of the most successful web frameworks out there.

But at the end of the day, the choice is yours to make and it's simply your loss.

Django is still by far the best web framework as far as I can tell. Every couple years I check what's out there for GoLang, Rust, Nodejs, and Swift, and it seems like it will be a decade or more before anything else comes even close.

Even though a lot of people don't like Django's ORM, at least it does almost everything you would want to do with Postgres. (And if you want more you can always use SqlAlchemy.) Most of the other ecosystems don't even have anything near the baseline functionality built into Django.

The WorkFlowy (https://www.workflowy.com) backend runs on Django. We are on Django 2.1 and planning to upgrade to 2.2 now that it has been released.

One new feature I’m excited about is bulk_update: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/models/querysets/#...
